Fellowship picnics – Sunday 4th August

Please note in your diaries the above date when we plan to have bring-and-share picnics after the morning services in Neston and Corsham, venues to be confirmed nearer the time. All are welcome!

Rudloe Community Centre – pledge form

Following the church meeting on 1st July and an update provided on the current level of increased giving pledged to the Rudloe Community Centre project, we’re asking people to continue in their prayerful consideration of any possible increase in their giving or contributing time. To remind you, the additional funds required equate to every member increasing their giving by £15-£20 per month. However, we recognise that for some this is not feasible, whilst others may be able to give more.

If you’re able to pledge additional monthly giving to help support the Rudloe project, or are able to contribute time, please complete the google form here (hard copies are available at church). Thank you in advance for your prayerful consideration. Note: this form is confidential and only seen by the treasurer.

Mission prayer request

Please pray for Joe Rowe as he joins an AIM team that will be helping a Midlands-based church reach out to its neighbours through a special events week. The church building is situated within a community of people from a North African background. They have been resistant to open evangelism so the team will seek to witness through action rather than words. Activities will include a children’s holiday club, a community artwork challenge, a women’s group to run alongside the children’s activities with crafts and practicing English, and there will be sports activities for teenagers in the evenings. Please pray for many opportunities to share the Gospel and for bridges to be built between the church and this community. The week runs from 3-11 August.

Junior Church memory verse

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not die but have eternal life. John 3: 16
